Chapter 430 Who says that sisters are not traditional?
Seeing Reagan's expression, Wang Yuanchao quickly said:
"What if I change myself to Reagan?"
Reagan's frown relaxed, and he looked at Wang Yuanchao in disbelief and said:
"What do you mean?"
Wang Yuanchao said:
"I can change my name to Adam Wang Reagan. That way, I can fulfill my promise to Patty and the child will have the last name Reagan, right?"
If that's the case, it doesn't seem to be impossible!
Reagan didn't say much, just said:
"Then you have to change your name first!"
Reagan said this very easily.
As long as the child has the father's last name, there is nothing wrong with that. As for parents having the same last name, what is the problem?
Wang Yuanchao breathed a sigh of relief. My son, my dad even changed his English surname for you!
The two were still walking in the hospital, but the atmosphere of their conversation was different.
"Do you have any other career besides music?" Reagan also became concerned about his son-in-law's career.
"In addition to Muse Music, I also have Orange Films, which collaborated with Paramount to shoot "The Godfather"!" Wang Yuanchao introduced honestly.
"Cooperation with Paramount? The Godfather? Italian gangster film?" Reagan responded very quickly.
"Yes. $350 million invested."
Reagan took a deep breath. This son-in-law has some family property and can invest so much money!
You know, even their family can't come up with so much money!
So Reagan suddenly felt that this Chinese boy was not so annoying. If he had not been married in Asia, he would be more than suitable for Patty.
"Movies are a risky business, not as risky as your music career." After all, Reagan had been in the film industry for so many years, but he was still only a second-rate actor. This was his own true experience.
Wang Yuanchao did not refute. It was indeed the fact. If he was not a prophet, how could he dare to rush in and play?
So he said modestly:
“There has to be some investment.
Movies are the closest to music, both are cultural and entertainment industries, and I have some experience in this area.”
Even though he invested in The Godfather, he was still worried that the other party would drag their feet on the profit sharing afterwards, so he made guarantees on this matter from all sides. But now it seems that at least Paramount will not dare to delay the payment of the governor's son-in-law, right? Reagan was not a new governor, he was already in his second term!
Reagan nodded. Indeed, if assets are not managed, they will either stagnate or decline. He did not continue to preach, but said:
"What do you think of the semiconductor industry? You know, the San Francisco Bay, which the media calls 'Silicon Valley', has been developing very well in recent years.
I support them a lot and watch them grow step by step.
I think investing in semiconductors can yield good returns.”
Wang Yuanchao was surprised. The governor had such good vision?
Reagan also noticed Wang Yuanchao's surprise and said with a smile:
"Your expression tells me that you feel the same way, but you don't understand why I feel the same way, right?"
Wang Yuanchao immediately restrained his previous courtesy and instead said with a hint of respect:
"When I was studying at Yale, I attended several lectures and felt that what the professors shared made a lot of sense. I also had a business in Los Angeles, so I went to Silicon Valley to take a look. Unfortunately, I was a layman and had no way to invest. But I bought some land in front of their factory."
Reagan smiled and shook his head.
"Why, you plan to sell them the land? Then you may be disappointed, there is a lot of land over there! But if you really want to invest, I can introduce you to it."
Silicon Valley was created by Reagan during his presidency. Later, he won the presidency by virtue of his achievements in California. So don't think that he is a second-rate actor and think that he is the same level as Eastern European drivers.
Many studies claim that it was Reagan who laid the foundation for the United States to win the Cold War. Reagan, Bush Sr., and George H.W. Bush are known as the three heroes of the United States' revival.
Wang Yuanchao didn't expect that his father-in-law would send him a gift just after he agreed to get married. He felt very embarrassed.
Immediately patted his chest and said:
"no problem!"
Reagan nodded and said:
"Then I'll have someone contact you."
...
Wang Yuanchao had a mansion in Los Angeles. The next day, Patricia moved in with her children.
Yes, after only one night's rest, Patricia was discharged from the hospital in high spirits.
After a normal birth, recovery is so fast.
There was absolutely no sign of the excruciating pain she had before giving birth.
The Reagans stayed here for another day to accompany their daughter, while Wang Yuanchao notified his lawyer and prepared to change his name.
It is normal for a beautiful country to change its name, but it still needs to apply and go through a series of procedures such as the court. Especially for Wang Yuanchao, who has a lot of businesses under his name, he cannot do without the assistance of a lawyer. Patricia heard this and firmly disagreed.
She wanted to share the surname "Wang" with her child. Otherwise, if the child's surname was Reagan, she would have to explain to others that the child was not fatherless, but that his father's surname was also Reagan? Others would not believe it at all, and at most they would nod their heads to show their belief, but in their hearts they would still think that the child was an illegitimate child without a father!
Wang Yuanchao didn't expect that a rebellious girl would be so traditional in this respect.
He doesn't care at all, but a little girl does. How can we find justice?
And Reagan really doted on his daughter, saying:
"Adam, you have a lot of businesses under your belt. Changing your name would have too much of an impact. It would be better for Patty and Ronald to have the same surname as you, Wang."
When Reagan mentioned his grandson's name, he paused, because the little guy's name was the same as his own.
Foreigners have the tradition of naming their children after their elders.
Since the boss had spoken, Wang Yuanchao naturally stopped making trouble. Forget it, he was his own son and he had the same surname as him, so why bother making trouble?
At a certain moment, he felt that he was a little too utilitarian.
Don't be too greedy.
So, the little guy's name was Ronald Reagan Wang.
Patricia's name will also be Patricia Ann Reagan Wang.
Because Reagan knew that Adam Wang was married in Asia and that Adam was Asian, he was unwilling to make a big fuss about it. In the end, only the family gathered in the small church and held a simple wedding ceremony.
Wang Yuanchao had no relatives in the United States, so in the end he only invited Bruce, the general manager of Muse Music, his partner Thomas, Hans, the manager of Orange Films, Emma, the agent of SHE, and two other members, Patricia's best friends, Beth and Kate.
As for the Jokers and the Carpenters, Wang Yuanchao did not invite them because he thought they had performances outside. As for the real reason, only he knew.
He didn't even want to call Beth and Kate, but Patricia couldn't help it, she felt it was a claim to sovereignty.
The ceremony was simple. It was more lively than when Wang Yuanchao married Zheng Juan.
Due to various reasons, the wedding ended just like that.
In addition to attending the wedding, Hans also personally reported to Wang Yuanchao on the grand preview in New York.
Because of the requirements of Orange Film, the co-producer, the publicity and screening of The Godfather are also higher than those of the same period in history. If it were higher, Paramount would not be willing to invite so many theater managers to watch the film, and media publicity also costs money!
Wang Yuanchao thinks that the price-performance ratio is probably just like that. After all, the box office of "The Godfather" in history has exceeded 100 million.
The preview can only be described as packed.
The five cinemas set a record of $5 in box office revenue on the first day. On average, one cinema earned over $5.7 a day!
This is simply a walking money printing machine!
The cinema even schedules screenings until 4 a.m. every day. Two hours later, just after dawn, early showgoers come to line up at 9 a.m.
crazy!
Wang Yuanchao did not avoid the Reagan family, or he deliberately let the Reagan family hear Hans' report.
Some things are more shocking when heard from others than when heard yourself.
In fact, Hans doesn't need to introduce it. The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Sun-Times and other major media in the United States have given unanimous praise to this phenomenal work. Various interpretations of the plot have attracted more audiences to the theater.
Reagan thought that his son-in-law was showing him his investment vision, but Wang Yuanchao said:
"Now I should have money to invest in those high-tech semiconductor industries!"
Reagan was surprised:
"Are you really optimistic about semiconductors? The Godfather looks like it's going to be a big success."
Wang Yuanchao said calmly:
"Not every movie can be like The Godfather. Investments should be dispersed rather than concentrated in one place. In this way, even if there is a mistake or an accident, there are other investments to support it."
Reagan had to look at this son-in-law with new eyes. The Godfather was so successful, and he was so calm and composed at such a young age. How did he attract his rebellious daughter? Was it just a little money and decent looks? Oh, by the way, he could also write songs!
How could Reagan know that in addition to the above advantages, Wang Yuanchao can also fight and have fun, which are also advantages that attract girls!
This time, he was more sincere, patted Wang Yuanchao's arm and said:
"Then wait for my news!"
Patricia didn't have any objections and was very understanding about this simple wedding. She just reminded Wang Yuanchao that he owed her a vacation, a honeymoon, and three wonderful works.
What else could she have an opinion about? Adam had a wife and children in Asia! She was doing this entirely for her little Ronald, so that he would have a legal biological father. Just turn a blind eye.
Moreover, she also knew that Adam had invested in "The Godfather", and now, seeing the unstoppable success of "The Godfather", she was tempted. Not only singing, she actually wanted to prove herself in the acting industry.
Yes, Patricia is so strong-willed and competitive!
After the wedding, the Reagan family went back to work and study, and only Nancy stayed here to take care of her daughter and grandson for a while and teach her how to raise children.
In fact, Wang Yuanchao has already equipped himself with a complete family service team. With his wealth, it is impossible for a mother to be tired.
But after Patricia gave birth to a child, she and her mother Nancy suddenly had a lot in common. Perhaps she wanted to make up for her previous rebellious days.
